Chapter 18 The Conspiracy

"This is the defense map of my launch line position. Commander Liao, please come and take a look."

Yu Xiaoqing came to the map, pointed to one of the places and said to Liao Mingyu. He was not a stingy person. Since he decided to cooperate sincerely this time, he had no reservations.

"Now I have arranged for my first main regiment and second regiment to be here for the defense of the river at the launch line, as well as nine 75mm field guns from the artillery battalion on standby in the rear."

After speaking, Yu Xiaoqing stared at Liao Mingyu with bright eyes. He wanted to hear what suggestions Liao Mingyu had.

"How many people are there?" Liao Mingyu carefully observed the defense plan and asked without raising his head.

"Not counting the artillery battalion, the two main regiments total about 4,000 people." Yu Xiaoqing responded.

"4,000 people..." Liao Mingyu frowned. If it were 4,000 people from the Sichuan Army, it would be okay, but Master Yu... was a little reluctant.

Liao Mingyu was just about to ask Chen Jize to arrange for the third battalion to come over, but his eyes accidentally turned to a corner of the map.

"Mr. Yu, I remember that this area is also your line of defense."

Liao Mingyu pointed to a place on the map and asked with a frown.

"This is Zhongba Beach, where the former Zenda Bridge was. The last time the Japanese army invaded Zenda, this was also one of their attack points."

"However, the open terrain here is not conducive to the defense of both sides of the Nu River. The last Japanese attack proved this, and I easily repelled it. Why did Commander Liao say this?"

Yu Xiaoqing said slowly. He didn't understand why Liao Mingyu would care about such a place.

"Although the terrain here is open, there is a middle dam in the middle of the river, which indirectly reduces the difficulty of crossing the river. It is also a place that must be guarded against." Liao Mingyu looked at the map again, raised his head and said to him seriously.

"Yu has already considered this. Our Third Regiment is stationed here, so we should be safe and sound."

Although Yu Xiaoqing said this, Liao Mingyu still felt uneasy and felt inexplicably uneasy. He turned around and walked to the observation port to look at the position on the riverside.

"The Japanese shelling has almost stopped..."

Yu Xiaoqing immediately stepped forward, looked outside silently, and said uncertainly: "Have they decided to give up this attack?"

wrong!

Liao Mingyu hurriedly picked up his telescope and looked upstream at Zhongba Beach, feeling increasingly uneasy.

"Chen Jize! Bring the third battalion to..."

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Before he could finish his words, a violent explosion sounded from Zhongba Beach upstream. From the telescope, he could see that countless bomb impact points had covered that area!

Damn, it really is!

The Takeuchi Mountain Range has long been a good deal. Attacking from the front is relatively stressful. It will not be easy to fight across the river against the enemy's most elite main group. Don't even think about the side of Jiqi Slope, that group is even more difficult to mess with.

After thinking about it, the most suitable assault point is the Zhongba Beach upstream. Although the terrain is open and unobstructed, which is not conducive to attack at all, it is also unsafe for the Chinese to defend there.

The most important thing is that the defense force there is the lowest now, and it is the easiest breakthrough point for the entire Nujiang defense line. The Chinese will never think that they will attack again where they failed last time.

So he did not hesitate to use a large number of artillery shells to bombard the Chinese's frontal positions to create the appearance of preparing to attack the water line. Behind the scenes, Chen Cang secretly moved two infantry brigades to the opposite side of Zhongba Beach. Just waiting for this

It’s time to invade the east coast in one fell swoop!

"Inform the Second Regiment immediately to rush to Zhongba Beach! Hurry!" Yu Xiaoqing was very anxious when he saw this scene. He hurriedly called the liaison soldiers and desperately wanted to rush to Zhongba Beach.

"It's too late. Let your two regiments guard the launch line. The main position cannot be lost."

Liao Mingyu raised his hand to stop him. The deployment of the launch line could not be hidden from the cunning Takeuchi Lianshan. If he found out that the defense force of the main position was weakened, the old Japanese would definitely pounce on him without hesitation. When the time comes, the entire Nujiang defense line would blossom.

Danger!

"Chen Jize, take the Third Battalion and rush there quickly. I will ask Mi Long's Third Company and Cui Yong's Heavy Machine Gun Company to cooperate with you."

"All combat orders are arranged by you, and Zhongba Beach will be left to you. Remember, you can't take a step back even if you die!"

"Understood! I promise to complete the task!" Chen Jize responded loudly with firm eyes. Without any hesitation, he turned around and walked out the door.

"Signal Corps, contact Chief of Staff Meng immediately and ask him to bring the Second Battalion over to coordinate the defense of the waterline and the river."

"Let Krupp find the enemy's heavy artillery position, and order Li Liansheng to move to the rear of Zhongba Beach with infantry artillery and heavy mortars, and blow the little Japan across the river to pieces!"

"Order the fourth battalion to rush to Jiqi Slope as a reserve team to be ready to support at any time. The second and fourth companies will continue to be on standby to guard against Japanese stragglers on the river."

"yes!"

After issuing a series of orders, Liao Mingyu breathed a sigh of relief. This time he pressed on the entire Sichuan Army, and he must not let the little Japanese break through the Jiang defense.

At this moment, Yu Xiaoqing also hurriedly issued the order to the frontline troops, and all personnel in the entire command headquarters were immediately mobilized.

"Commander Yu, the situation at Zhongba Beach is critical. My third battalion and artillery battalion have been sent there. I hope your troops can cooperate sincerely and don't make any mistakes." Liao Mingyu said with something in his words. He didn't want someone.

The troops fell out of control again.

Yu Xiaoqing looked at him expressionlessly. He couldn't understand the meaning. After thinking about it, he said: "Li Bing!"

"have!"

"Take the special agent battalion and go to the Zhongbatan position with Battalion Commander Chen. Anyone who refuses to cooperate and escapes from the battle...will be killed without mercy!"

"Yes!" Li Bing immediately accepted the order.

Yu Xiaoqing also invested money and sent out his most elite spy battalion. At this time, the entire Yu Division's combat troops were tied to the front line, and there were not many troops left to defend his division headquarters.

But he couldn't care about this now. Yu Xiaoqing hurriedly stared upstream. Through the observation mirror, he saw that the Japanese army had already begun to cross the river at this time!



Direction of Zhongba Beach.

Under the bombardment of artillery fire, the Japanese army had crossed most of the river, and the Zhongba on the river seemed to have become a bridgehead for the Japanese army. A dozen Japanese soldiers set up machine guns here and kept shooting at the other side, covering the large force crossing the river.

.

"Boom! Boom..."

"ah……"

"Lie down, don't show your head!"

The Zhongba Beach defense line was bombarded by Japanese artillery fire. Artillery shells continued to explode on the position, causing a mass of blood and flesh sludge. The soldiers of the Third Regiment of the Yu Division suffered heavy losses even if they were hiding in the trenches. Under intensive low-level artillery fire, they suffered heavy losses.

I could only lock my body tightly and pray that the cannonball would not fall next to me.

At the forward command post of the Third Regiment, a bearded lieutenant colonel held a phone and spoke respectfully:

"Yes...yes! I understand! Master, please rest assured."

"But the Japanese artillery fire was too fierce. I'm worried...hey? hey hey?...his grandma's!"

The bearded man threw away the microphone angrily. It was obvious that communication was interrupted and the telephone line set up outside had been blown down.

"Captain, what should we do? The kid has already landed ashore. The first battalion has suffered heavy losses and is about to lose its hold!" The adjutant next to him couldn't help but asked urgently.

"What should I do? Cold! If you can't hold on, you have to support me. You have lost your position. If the master shoots me, I will shoot you first!" The bearded officer stood up from the table and stared at the adjutant fiercely.

He is also very desperate. If he loses his position and runs back, he will definitely die according to Yu Xiaoqing's temper. My brothers are all people who are willing to kill at will. Do you dare to talk to him?

Instead of dying in vain, it is better to fight on the battlefield and maybe there is a glimmer of hope. The bearded officer thought this way.
